Generally tipping toward the heavier side of the scales, Simon was inspired to join Logan's endeavour after having close ties to the family through the racing industry.
Used to calling runners in races as opposed to running in races himself, Logan said Simon's enthusiasm to join him is admirable. "He's taking it pretty seriously and he's lost a lot of weight, cause he's a bigger guy, George," Logan said.
"He's put in a lot of effort, he's done exceptionally well ... it's not an easy thing to do."
Achieving his first feat, hitting the desired goal of $10,000 to donate to the Cancer Society, Logan was chuffed with the response he's had from supporters around the country.
As of yesterday afternoon the donation tally stood at more than $10,500, a testament to his efforts and cause.
"It's been really good to get that last little push to get over the line," he said.
"I guess you have these people supporting you which gives you a bit more motivation and a bit of a boost ... even though they might not be there, they're sort of there in some way, shape, or form."
Injury wise, Logan says he has been "quite lucky in that respect".
"I'm just going to go in and think about what I want to do and not be too disappointed if I don't do it.
"Running across that bridge will be pretty sweet early on a Sunday morning which will be a bit of a boost as well. It's about 13.5-14km in so about then I'll be looking for a bit of a push."
Logan will join 12,475 other runners tomorrow across multiple race distances, including the full marathon, half-marathon, 12km and 5km race.
